Thoughts and opinions? Are you sure this isn't something from the Onion with a Fox label slapped on? It's so utterly unbelievable for even an organization that's already as worthless as Fox to air something like that. They sound like a bunch of retarded 6th grade boys trash talking.

It's all a little fun and games. It's like the little brother you like to $%&@ with but still love deeply.

Also, the most powerful country in the Universe? Isn't that spot reserved for the Kryz'toth Imperium that spams several thousand intergalactic sectors?

Satire it may be, but most comics shy away from denigrating whole military societies.

Also, if it's supposed to be funny, why didn't I laugh?

Well, then Fox fails harder at satire than it does at news. The only way I can see this working is if they are satirizing the idiots who are like how they were behaving.

I thought the most powerful nation in the universe was the 100101010001 Node, as they own, officially, half of the stars, and have the ability to turn them off.

It's Fox News. People stopped taking them seriously a long time ago. This actually serves as a self-parody of their own ridiculous reporting standards, which they are making no effort to deny any more.

And I don't know why you didn't laugh. Your sense of humor is your business, not mine.

I heard through the grapevine that they genetically engineered themselves into extinction by accident.

I lol'd when they said 'most powerful country in the universe.' Oh yeah? Well Canada is the most powerful country in the OMNIVERSE!

Also, nothing surprises me from Fox any more. It's almost like they'd prefer it if Canada didn't fight.

I can't watch videos at work. Is this the one where they berate Canada for not helping out in Iraq or Afghanistan (despite the fact that Canada has troops in Afghanistan)?

OMG-Doug seriously US 2# comedian who smokes pot. Come on guys
Seriously I think canada had made a very good choice. Most powerful country? well im sorry to all you americans that might not like this comment but, LMAO you may have the best weapons, bombers and crap like that, But considering that TF soliders from Aus and NZ go to afganistan so help out man. Gezz the second time the US went to Iraq they asked so much of the AUS SAS troops to help them.

Canada you rock, lol you guys may ride on horses witch is cool but that thing is, atleast you guys arnt getting attacked by the terrorists.

There is no point helping in a war you can even fund. America Done it. LOOK where they turned out? American weapons are made through out europe. GO THE SWISS. And US soilders and marines train with europe, AUS soilders.

yes FOX is looking for ratings they got them, all these losers tryign to sound liek they run the governement like come on look at that guy Jonathan Hoeing he looks like he was rejected from playing the part as GONZO. Meh, im Dissapointed in America :( they always have to do things to try look like there the brains of the outfit.

I could go on. But meh cant be bothered, this makes me sick

I'm still not seeing why they would make this for a satire show. Doesn't satire usually involve making fun of stupid, relevant things? It just makes no sense. :mellow:

regardless if he's a comedian or not, it needs to be done properly. This one wasn't.
